Punishment | When a change in the stimulus environment occurs contingent on a behavior that decreases the probability of that response class in the future |
Punisher | Anything that decreases the probability of a response reoccurring |
Punish | Providing apunisher |
Two types of Punishment | Type 1 (Positive), Type 2 (Negative) |
Type 1 Punishment | Positive Punishment |
Positive punishment | The application of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that decreases the probability of that response class in the future |
Type 2 Punishment | Negative Punishment |
Negative Punishment | The removal of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that decreases the probability of that response class int he future |
Disadvantages of punishment | Avoidance, Negative emotional response, aggressive behavior toward the source, Only a suppression of behavior, Discriminatory signal for the behavior, Replace one undesirable behavior with another, No training in appropriate behavior |
Doctrine of Least Restrictive Alternative | Other less intrusive procedures must be considered and/or tried and found inappropriate or ineffective before punishment is presented |
Guidelines for Punishment | Adequate assessment, Pair w/ reprimand, Apply an immediately effective stimulus that is not excessive, Maintain close temporal proximity for punisher delivery, Measure integrity carefully, Maintain careful records |
Types of overcorrection | Restitution overcorrection, Positive practice overcorrection |
Restitution overcorrection | Requiring the disruptor to correct the consequences of their misbehavior by having them restore the situation to a state vastly improved from that which existed before the disruption |
Positive Practice overcorrection | Requiring the disruptor to practice an appropriate alternative response several times |
Advantages of overcorrection | Normalization, Directly related to misbehavior, Educative |
Negative Practice | Repeatedly doing the problematic benavior |
Guided compliance | Hand over hand |
Caution should always be taken with | Aggressive clients |
Reinforcement should never be given | During punishment procedures |
